 * Symbol question.svg These two articles are new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the articles are neutral and I detected no copyright issues. One QPQ has been done. If the merger goes ahead we will not need another QPQ, but if the articles remain separate, we will. Perhaps you can ping me when the nomination is ready for final approval, either as one merged article, or as two articles with an extra QPQ done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:03, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
 * The articles were merged; I've updated the hook. Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 02:52, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
